That is correct Charles. Often guys will save money by substuting 5AR4 and 5V4 tubes for 
each other. You are right - they usually go for crazy prices.

All the best

you back $119.00 plus shipping. So mine is not bad in the mix with these other ham 
transmitter tubes for $30.00 total.

The similar 5AR4 goes for crazy prices.
